Why These Goals for the Disciplinary Commons
- Learning (to teach) as engaged social practice.
- We sink or swim together: we share students, we mutually support
the region and state.
- Deliberate reflection as key way to learn. But also to make life
more meaningful by increasing the likelihood that our actions are
intentional and reflect our most cherished values. (Dewey, Schon)
- "Articulation" between our institutions must be based on mutual
understanding of the teaching and learning that occurs in our
courses.
